Bowling Green State U. receives 3 new buses

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Bowling Green State University's University Shuttle Service will receive three new shuttle buses in June, BGViewsNews reported. The buses cost $360,885 altogether, and were paid for with money that is set aside every year for the purpose of replacing buses at around $66,000 a year.

The new buses will have a different look, with the engine placed in the back instead of the front, and the Art department designing the university insignia that will adorn the buses. It will be the first time the service has worked with the department. For the full story, click here.

The program will focus on increasing access to opportunities; improving multi-modal planning and shared use of infrastructure; advancing innovation and smart cities; and developing data, models and tools.

The university’s $27 million collaboration with Frontt Capital Management, a Shenzhen-based investment firm, will establish a joint research center for intelligent vehicles at the university and a robotics laboratory on North Campus.
